American Idol 10 - Lack of Passion is Unforgivable

Who is my favorite? After this week's results show, I have nobody. Like literally, nobody to root for now. I have to change favorites this early in the season and it sucks big time. Why you may ask? Its because America decided to send Pia Toscano home. Yes, you read it right. Pia Toscano is out of American Idol.

Now I made my prediction of the Bottom Three or at least who I felt should be in the Bottom Three would be Casey, Jacob and Stefano. Well at least I got two out of the three right.

The Bottom Three

With this Bottom Three, you would think that Stefano would be the one going home. Well for one thing, Ryan announced that Jacob is indeed safe.

Which leaves us with Pia and Stefano and all of us at home, myself included, are ready for Stefano to come home. After all, all he has going for is his charm and charisma. But color me shocked when Ryan announced that Pia is the one going home.

Even Stefano is in shock. And the shock faces continue. Let's see them shall we?

All three judges are shocked and I think JLo summed up everybody's feelings, everybody except Stefano and his family of course and probably James too, by saying about Pia's sudden departure: "I have no idea what's happened here. I'm shocked, I'm angry, I don't even know what to say."

And Steven really put it out by stating: "I don't know America man, mistake is one thing but lack of passion is unforgivable." So, so true.

So we say goodbye to one of this season's really good talents, Pia Toscano.

Farewell Pia

On a sidenote, I can't imagine what Stefano must have felt all throughout. Just the look on his face when Pia was singing was full of guilt like he knows he should have went home over Pia.

Yes, you should have went home buddy

*Sigh*

American Idol 10 - Rock 'n Roll!

And its yet another week of Idol! After the very sad elimination of Thia and Naima last week, something I forgot to blog about, we're left with 9 people and yes, ever since the Top 13 began, all who left have been women. So its either a conspiracy or who knows.

Tonight's theme is from the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame so if I have to guess the person to beat with this genre would be James. We'll see if this will hold up starting with Jacob.

Jacob Lusk - Man in The Mirror

Its good but like I said in the beginning I'm not a Jacob fan and he kind of contradicted himself with this one. He didn't want to sing 'Let's Get It On' because its suggestive and yet he thrusted his hips on stage like there's no tomorrow. It was good don't get me wrong but I like the others better. (8/10)

Haley Reinhart - Piece of My Heart

Haley went back to her growls which was too much I believe but she has her stride, she finally found her place in the competition and she's not letting that go. I still like last week much more than this one but this one's pretty good. (9/10)

Casey Abrams - Have You Ever Seen The Rain?

I'm torn with this one. Its more of I like it but then again I don't really because I felt nothing. Its a strange performance for me, kind of awkward unlike last week. Not my favorite out of the bunch. (8/10)

Lauren Alaina - (You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman

Definitely a whole lot better than last week but I'm still not wowed. I remember watching season one on Youtube and I came across Kelly Clarkson slaying that song and Lauren didn't do that unfortunately. (9/10)

James Durbin - While My Guitar Gently Weeps

I love how he showcased his vulnerable side, his more emotional side but his voice was pretty weak with this performance. What brought this for me is I felt his emotions in this one, its really heartfelt but as far as his voice is concerned, its not in par with the other past performances. (8/10)

Scotty McCreery - That's All Right

The whole performance sounded more country than rock for me which is as always right up Scotty's alley. The thing that made me like this is his swagger, his charisma, his adorkable attitude while singing. So yeah, I liked it. (9/10)

Pia Toscano - River Deep, Mountain High

I am in awe. Not only did she did an up-tempo song, she slayed it. Really, really, really, reeeeeeeeeally good. (10/10)

Stefano Langone - When a Man Loves a Woman

The falsetto, not that good. As always Stefano gives a heartfelt performance but his voice is not that good compared to the others. His attitude up there makes it all up which makes me like him but if we're going on voice alone, I don't really like it. (8/10)

Paul McDonald - Folsom Prison Blues

Paul entertained me! OMG. He really did. The whole performance made me smile, dance along with him, cheer and all that. Loved it. (10/10)

So surprise, surprise my favorites of this night are Pia and Paul while James who I expected would rock out didn't do so which I felt fell short. The bottom I think would be Jacob, Stefano and Casey.
